RedState Weighs in on South Carolina School Choice Fight

As FreedomWorks continues to wage its massive school choice campaign in South Carolina another national organization has taken note of the importance of this battle. Conservative blog RedState wrote the following article targeting Rep. Jenny Horne, who is primary opposition to the bill in the house. Rep. Horne has gone out of her way stating she would prevent a vote on H.4894 the primary bill FreedomWorks and our activists have been fighting for months.

The importance of school choice legislation passing in South Carolina is drawing national attention because for far too long students have been trapped in failing schools. Thank you to RedState for showing the true face of conservatism and supporting this much needed reform.

Please take a few moments and call Rep. Jenny Horne and demand she vote yes on H.4894. (843) 412 8420 or (803) 212-6871

Democracy and Power 114: The Power Players
Who actually controls the force of government? Politicians and interest groups control the American political process.

Lately, we’ve seen a seemingly endless assault on education freedom, in the form of misguided proposals from a president bent on cramming backwards education policy down the country’s throat. Fortunately, Republicans have a two-chamber majority now, and a Speaker of the House with a history leading the charge to promote school choice.

No matter which circuit boundary you live in, the activism in the courts throughout the country affect you and your rights. Take a gander at the cases below to see the precedents being established that are threatening your civil liberties.

In the final days before the deadline to sign HB 3399, FreedomWorks grassroots activists are sending thousands of messages to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin to repeal Common Core in Oklahoma. The fate of education in Oklahoma rests in Governor Fallin’s hands, who needs to sign HB 3399 into law to stop the federal takeover of education.

“It’s the law of the land.” This has been the repeated refrain from defenders of ObamaCare against any effort to repeal, replace, or reform the disastrous policy that is causing millions of Americans to lose their existing health insurance and experience drastic, unexpected premium hikes.

Fearing baldness, I long ago stopped scratching my head at the public moves of the Republican hierarchy. With Obamacare crumbling like a celebrity marriage all around them, the Democrats are so desperate that they're focusing on raising the minimum wage-a "feel good" bunch of nonsense that benefits an age demographic that isn't even old enough to vote for them. But they need people to talk about anything but Obamacare.
